I know that and that makes even less sense. It has always been possible to download music info with a locked bootloader, unless you unlocked your bootloader and relocked it, but in that case there was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...o working again on ICS with ReLock bootloader.
And now there already is an app that works on both. I'm not the only one saying he's months late...

Firstly, your OP doesn't say anything about not requiring root, so there's no reason to shout at us as if that's an obvious difference.
Secondly, if someone is running stock firmware on a locked bootloader and without rooting, the music downloader will work anyway.
I don't want to troll, but you can't go claiming you invented something when it's really nothing new.

Not really to install but to unlock it. Or write a version that people with locked bootloaders could use. Just trying yo see if there could be a way to do it with adb

You can do that with Omnius It unlocks the bootloader without wiping DRM or any of the other negative effects. So you can use fastboot but still use TrackID and OTA updates and SEUS etc.

I have just rooted using Superoneclick with ZergRush, (bootloader is still locked), and uninstalled some of the bloat (video unlimited, timescape, etc....), using Titanium.
My question is that when Sony Ericsson release an OTA update (i'm currently on 2.3.4). Will I be able to update without any problems?
If not how would I go about updating?
I have an unbranded generic R800i (UK model).
Thanks.
(sorry if this question has been answered before).

Actually if you delete any files from /system/app/ you will not be able to ota update (update will fail). But afaik you can still use seus/pc companion to update.

Oh ok. That's not too bad then
The thing is I finally decided to unlock BL on my Xperia S,I made a present for my phone and unlocked it, but I forgot about losing Bravia Engine and Track ID, now I'm on 4.2.2, but thinking of returning to stock firmware as Official JB comes out, so I need any mod that will bring BE and TrackID back. When I installed .55 firmware I had Bravia Engine option in Display settings, but I don't know whether it's working or not. So if you know any way how to return these things via CWM I'll be very thankful. :angel:
TrackID still works, Bravia only if you relock bootloader.

Be my guest. It worked for me, but you need to know that everytime you reflash your ROM you need to add those files in /system directory in order to have Bravia Engine and Music info. working.

P.S. You only need to have root access.

Hello Kaml,
Im not sure if rooting "by unlcking bootloader" is the only option you are considering but you dont need to unlock bootloader to root 4.3.
I rooted my Xperia on 4.3 following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51730927
If you want to unlock bootloader anyway, please, make a backup of the TA partition first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598

Rooting with locked bl is too complex i didnt get it clearly and didn't used these tools before :/
Can someone please explain it to me clearly what to do
Sent from my C1904 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi Kaml.
Yeah, it's a bit confusing when you first go to it. If you dont like the adrenaline/fear/expectation mix, better is to ask someone else to do it for you
You say that's too complicated to root with a locked bootloader. That’s not always true, it’s relative. The post I linked to you is very clear and it’s not complicated at all, but you will need to start from a 4.2.2 rooted ROM, maybe that’s the complicated part for you.
Anyway, I suggest you to confirm if you can unlock your bootloader. Did you checked it already? It may save you time by knowing it beforehand.
To check, go to the dialer and type: *#*#7378423#*#* then go for Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status. If Bootloader unlock allowed says Yes, then you are able to unlock it. This is from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484622
Read that thread, especially when it says “before unlocking please take backup TA partition from here”. By backing up the TA partition you can restore it later if need and then you have some chance of not losing Sony warranty if you ever need it.
Im not aware of other methods for rooting 4.3 besides the link I posted on my first reply, take a look and you will find other methods (probably).
Anyway, if you are interested in backing up the TA partition, it’s only possible if you have a rooted phone already and that’s kinda of a chicken/egg problem so that’s another motive of seeking for rooting methods without touching the bootloader at first. One way to solve it is to half root your phone, enable USB debugging and Unknown Sources from development menu, then run the script to backup the TA partition.

I'm not sure about over the air updates. However you can update your phone through PC Companion if it is rooted but the bootloader is NOT unlocked, and you can also flash an ftf onto the phone using flashtool if your phone is rooted even if the bootloader is unlocked.
There is also several methods of rooting 4.3, one of the easiest being towelroot as it is a one click root app for use on your mobile and it has the remount reboot fix enabled so you don't have to worry about that.

In the dialer type *#*#7378423#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#*) and click on Service Info and the Configuration. Under rooting status you will see a string of text. If it says Bootloader unlock allowed (either yes or no, it doesn't matter) your device has a locked bootloader. If it says Bootloader unlock: Yes then you have an unlocked bootloader.

Not at all, there are many root methods available for 4.3 now. The most effective is towelroot, if you download the most recent version from the website (do this from your phone as it is an apk) you don't even have to run the remount/reboot fixer as it is embedded into the app.
